Trip Report

ReporterMartin Wroe

The takeout stick gauge was showing 2.5~ft. for the 250 CFS release on
8-10-13 . At that time I found folks asking when it would start to release.
Don't let view fool you, it does look low, so check the gauge.
Also new long tree down across the run very shortly below the little bridge.
Approach with caution and go center-left and forget the top eddie on right .
At This Time, the tree is still green leafed and help up by it's branches for now.
We ducked under it fine , this time.
